Care Group

Its Care Group time again!! Yippee!! hehe

We started by sharing thoughts and events these past week as well as the experiences of those who went for the Church Camp and those who didn't. It is followed by the P&W.

Today is Pris's first time leading P&W. She has been nervous and praying very hard for Godly help the days leading to today! (as you can see from her blog Pris). She did a magnificent job, and she has a very nice voice, contrary to what she keep saying. I'm sure with more practice and confidence, she can sing like a diva (imagine Mariah Carey). :D

A joyous occasion this is. Its Alfred's first Holy Communion leading also! I was kinda surprised that he's able to lead so well in prayer! (I think its cos he's quite a quiet person, to hear him speak so well is "unusual".. haha).

Next, as usual, we come to discussion time. Today, we talk abt Simon the magician. The topic is abt bargaining with God. However, we covered quite a fair bit abt the lure and influence of the old ways, to get out of it, and to embrace our new life as christians. We also talked abt Holy Spirit Baptism. Tze Yee and Reina shared abt their experiences as they were the only ones who were baptised in the Holy Spirit (Our group has Alfred, Jerilee, Tze Yee, Pris, Reina and me) Jerilee also shared abt how surprised she was when she first heard people speaking in tongues, thinking what strange people these are. She came from a traditional setting, something like me, so what she said also speak to my heart.. haha..

We had to hurry our discussion as we had something to do. Its Merv's bday celebration today!! (though its belated by 1 week) Its sabo time!! We all conspired to hide wherever we can in the house, as Merv is in his room with his door closed (me, Pris and Alfred hid in the storeroom, the rest hid near the main door). Then Ink called his bro out to help clean up. Wee Leong leaped out when Merv went near and gave him quite a scare!! hahaha. We proceeded with the singing of bday songs and cutting of cake. We also took out the KFC food that Wee Leong had ordered. While eating, we gave our affirmation. I think I can safely say that all of us had in one way or other experienced his selflessness, in giving, in that he's quiet-looking but will always be there for you. Happy Birthday Merv!!
